The data revolution
Many of the applications we've developed have been used for many years with the ongoing addition of features. So, it's important to keep them up to date with the latest that Django has to offer - new functionality, improvements to existing ones and, of course, continuing security updates.
iShamba
Mediae’s iShamba mobile service is helping Kenyan farmers be more independent by giving them the latest commodity prices, weather forecasts or tips such as when to harvest your crops and which pests and diseases to be on the lookout for - all via mobile.

CIFF Grant Portfolio
CIFF (Children’s Investment Fund Foundation) have embraced transparency by presenting their grant portfolio through visual graphs, which allows users to see exactly how money has been spent tackling issues including child nutrition, health and education.
Each time a grant page is updated, added or removed by an editor, the totals are recalculated and the bar chart updates.
Upshot
Upshot, the Football Foundation’s grant impact monitoring and evaluation system, started off as a project to make data collection easier. The system, which collects information on how grants are being used by community projects, has now grown into a service adopted by banks, local councils and other charities to monitor their own projects.
